Default ebay Buys

Just happy to potter around these days looking for bits and bobs picked up a nice Officers early 1960 gaunt silver plated motto £15 and a nice 5th with all the bits intact £56. I thought pretty fair price wise, and two weeks ago I picked up a 5th one with loops for £63. I see one trader has a looped up for £130.

Here is a later production of the Gaunt post 1960 S/P (Patt No: 30056). With its equivalent production AA.

Your S/P is seen here in the same production period as the chromed belt motto... and the slightly later AA production (note the bit of detail in the ribbon ends).

* The S/P & Chrome would be a brass base metal in die production.... then loops added (S/P) or shanks (Belt).... then dipped for nickel plate...... then dipped again for a silver plate (S/P) or chrome (Belt) finish. So the brass versions from this period (looped/slider) that we see on the market are simply factory blanks that were not completed.
